John Thomas Yauger, Jr. of Bremen passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 9, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.  Born in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 10, 1955, he was the son of Athleen Hill Yauger and the late Dr. John Thomas Yauger, Sr.   In addition to his father, John is preceded in death by his brother Steven Hill Yauger. He was a member of the Bremen First United Methodist Church.

John grew up in Atlanta and worked diligently to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.  After graduating high school, he went on to complete his BA at Georgia State University.  Moving to Virginia, he continued his education at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg where he received his MBA.  John was the CEO of Home Bridge Caregivers where he spent time recruiting staff to help the homebound. A man of many talents, he was a wonderful chef, loving husband and devoted father. An avid fan of the Atlanta Braves and Falcons, he spent many hours watching them play.  Watching the sun set, walking on the beach, sitting by the pool, or listening to music was how John enjoyed relaxing. But most of all, he loved spending time with his family.

Left to cherish his memories are his wife, Deborah Dobbs Yauger; his children, Emily Dobbs Yauger, Samuel Thomas Yauger, Sarah Elizabeth Yauger, and John Edward Yauger; his mother Athleen Yauger; and his sister, Ann Hill Yauger.  Also surviving are his precious grandchildren: Zachary, Aubrey, and Finley, his father and mother-in-law, Lemoyne and Janice Dobbs; and other family and friends..

In accordance with his wishes, John will be cremated.

Hutcheson's Memorial Chapel & Crematory of Buchanan  is honored to serve the Yauger family.
